The Lake House

Laura and I are starting a photoblog with our adventures! I am so happy about this because I was just thinking about that today after we went on our first walk in a very long time. Laura texted me and said that we should start one and I was so happy. After all of these years, we are still very much on the same page.

Today is also the first day that I felt inspired to blog or post anything online. She took me to see the 1960s designed and built Baldwin House at Deer Lake park and I fell in love. It was designed by Arthur Erickson who most notably designed Simon Fraser University. It is owned by the City of Burnaby and currently leased to The Land Conservancy of British Columbia. Our dream goal is to rent it for a week in the summer, however, I can't find online that it is currently available as a rental. A few phone calls may need to be made.

Hello November

HOBBIES. CRAFTS. AFTERNOON PROJECTS.

Hobbies are so important to me. Now that summer is gone and winter is on it's way, these are some of the things that I am currently occupying my free time with indoors...

Looking at photography and art prints to frame comme Gray Malin and Slim Aarons style - forever one of my favourites

Researching terrariums and getting ideas on what kind to build

Pinterest has been a great source of inspiration but it's all thanks to Crown Flora Studio

Stormy Nights

I love stormy nights at home, being cozy under the covers and reading great books.

Very impressed with IKEA's latest picture / art collection. These framed flower pictures are my favourite.

Apartment No. 4

I am looking forward to decorating my new condo in the upcoming few months. This time, unlike in previous homes, I will be taking my time picking out items piece by piece. I don't want to rush it. I do not have a particular style but tend to gravitate towards modern / contemporary. A new bed is a must! A new entertainment unit as well. Here are some of the items that I have my eye on to purchase & inspirations I have collected via Tumblr and Pinterest (if any of these images belong to you and you don't want me to use them or to link back please advise).
